Edited to clarify.
Things to consider: How much of your data would you be comfortable letting Lemmy sell vs Reddit? If Zuck treated users better, would you be more accepting of Meta monetizing your data every way possible? When it comes to using something for free (tangible or intangible) do you accept a company selling your personal information if their practices align with what you feel is fair?
I wasn’t aware I got to draw a line
Because nobody said so. You don’t have to draw the line, but if you did where would you put it? And even total avoidance of „sharing“ your personal data just means you drew the line at “none“.
I meant I have a weak will when it comes to this
In some cases you can, some you can’t. Lemmy vs Reddit for example. If you choose not to use Reddit or use it less, how did you come about that decision? Where is the line of “enough already”?
I still use reddit because my city has a bunch of hookup subs. I had to block almost up to the 1000 user limit, but I’ve met three people off there. Would be even easier if I wanted a threesome with a reddit married couple (I’m good!!!)
But I don’t use it for anything else lmao
I break down and start using the totally awful ones with no privacy when I need to access people on them. Like everyone else. :(
